"Hot Key" Iluminated LED translucent Yellow Arcade Button

This great "Hot Key" Iluminated LED Translucent Yellow Arcade Button will serve us to use it as a "shift" key function. This function is used in the Rasbperry Pi, in programs like Recalbox or Retropie. Basically the "shift" or "hot key" function allows us to add the extra functions we want with a simple combination of keystrokes. In this case we would press the "hot key" button + any other button on our control panel to add a new action. Additional functions such as: turn off / on the computer, add credit, increase or decrease volume, etc.

The "Hot Key" Iluminated LED Translucent Yellow Arcade Button includes the microswitch and the LED that allows you to connect up to 12V, although we recommend that you power it with 5V. The inside yellow bright LEDs will illuminate the credit text giving a decorative, elegant, and also practical touch to your Arcade project.

With a 28mm diameter and an approximate length of 35mm, this button can be installed on both metal and wooden panels quickly and easily thanks to the Nut Thread Washer system. This push button can be installed in holes ranging from 28mm to 30mm in diameter.

The LED is compatible with both 5V and 12V. In case the LED stops working, you can easily replace it. At our store you can find loose LED lamps that will serve as replacements.

In order to light up the pushbutton, you will need a 5V or 12V power source. We recommend that you either directly get it from the Arcade Machine power supply or from one of the 5V pins on the Xin Mo encoder, or the specific Zero Delay LED encoders to light up the LEDs. These Zero Delays are available for 1 or 2 players which are also available at our store.

Mounting Information

To install the LED Arcade push button, you'll need 4.8mm wiring as that is the width of the button action terminals and 6.3mm LED wiring as that is the width of the LED fastons. If you purchase one our interfaces, be sure to select the one with 6.8mm wide terminals wire. You can also purchase extra 6.3mm cables for the Zero Delay LED or the Xin Mo from the links below: Zero Delay / Xin Mo.
